Our State is adding a 2% tax on all premiums paid by employers to help pay for the uninsured! In this State over 90$ of or employers are less than 20 employees and with a net profit marging of around eight percent. Most all of them will drop the benefit of medical coverage for their employees and let the State pay for it! The trick is, the State of Oregon has no money! The same thing will happen on a grander scale with the US Government Helth Care System! The trick there is the same, the Feds have no money!

I don't want it because it will be GOVERNMENT OWNED and OPERATED and DECISIONS ABOUT ME AND MY HEALTHCARE WILL STILL BE IN THE HANDS OF GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS. This president is an inveterate liar which means he lies continually. His main objective is to achieve total power and control. Don't allow yourselves to be seduced and deceived by his smile, his charming demeanor or his seductive speech. He's going in "for the kill" and the reward is our LIVES and our FREEDOM.

We know that any form of government-controlled enormous, ponderously complex, labyrinthine bureaucracies, run by "appointees", most likely partisans, will, sooner rather than later, control every detail of the most intimate areas of our bodies and our lives. Most of us agree that there are some narrow areas within the health care delivery industry which need some refinement, quickly and easily solvable by means of the free market. Real competition will be between insurance companies, able to compete across State borders, not with a government "option". However, we must not destroy the entire system to alleviate the problems. Here's an analogy: on Labor Day, there was a story in the news about the discovery of a crack in the Golden Gate Bridge which urgently needed to be repaired. While the repairs were being made, they closed the bridge to all traffic. HOWEVER... they did not demolish the entire bridge! They set about repairing the crack, and only the crack. They did not destroy it to fix it! We have totalitarians throughout this Administration. As such, they are meddlesome, utopian busybodies. They want to exercise parental authority over the Citizens of this country. George Washington said that the "protector of the Constitution is the People." This is what we are seeing in Tea Parties, Town Hall meetings and various rallies around the country. We KNOW what the end-result would be of total government control of the health care system: A government big enough to "give us" everything, is powerful enough to take everything away, beginning with our Liberty and Privacy.
